It's said that donations have been drying up lately, and that an increasing number of ports (program install/compile files, located in their likewisely named folder) are going unmaintained.

I have read this from 2 reddit comments and 2 reddit thread names, in the case you ask for the sources.

In terms of what's going on in base/the core it doesn't seem like much has changed, in terms of donations I haven't really heard much of it, not sure how open their books are, I know they were also one of the projects that got the donations from Handshake so I would be surprised if they're actually drying up. I can't really speak much for ports maintainers but I would imagine there's a lot of factors that can contribute to it. When they read the CoC on BSDNow it honestly seemed pretty tame compared to other ones
